Mumbai coach Chandrakant Pandit confirmed that changes have been in the squad, but declined to comment on whether Dabholkar and Jaiswal have been dropped due to suspect actions. "The Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) secretary is the right person to answer these queries," Pandit told Sunday mid-day.
